{{quote|''"Diplomacy is hard. Mixing diplomacy with magic is harder."''|The [[Tagline]] }}

In a parallel world with Furries but no humans, an age old barrier in London designed to prevent magic entering the world had been broken by German bombing in WWII and a secret British Government Agency develops around it to police the magic and maintain the [[Masquerade]]. Focuses on two agents, Hunter and Gypsy. Also in dead-tree format. 

The Royal Center for Special Investigations has the difficult task of protecting Britain from loose magic. There's only one problem: England doesn't have any powerful, trained mages. 

Read it [http://www.rcsitravel.net here.] 
Rated PG-13 for mild violence, language, adult themes and trigger happy redheads.

* [[He-Man Woman Hater]]: Reruns of the original comics suggest that Hunter was a severe gynophobe - to the point where his unwillingness to work with female agents almost cost him his job. Now he's merely severely shy around any non-Gypsy female. (This has since been redacted for the current story. The original run is [[Orwellian Retcon|no longer consider canon]].) 
** [http://www.rcsitravel.net/archive/2010/07/19 In a recent storyline], we have a [[Horny Devils|succubus]] asking Ruby if Max is gay. She says she's found his [[Porn Stash|stash of lad's mags]] and reassures her that he's just shy.

** According to Ruby's mother most of the rest of the world was never sealed, including America.

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Only hounds are susceptible to lycanthropy, during full moons they become ravenous beasts capable of infecting hundreds in one night. Ruby's uncle Ishmael was lucky to get away with just a damaged eye,  {{spoiler|as all infected agents are "put down".}}
* [[Royal We]]: During her pre-treaty night [http://www.codenamehunter.com/archive/comic/2012/01/16 speech] to RSCI Moraine switches from saying "I" to ''we'' in order to emphasize how important formality is this night.
